About and Contact

Hello, and Welcome to my Interior Design and Personal Style blog.

In my 'Interior Design Insights' posts I present interiors from throughout the world.

My commentaries on interior design point out what are the 'ingredients' that make an interior and an interior design good.
I break the interiors that I am presenting down into the essentials - how the elements and design principles have been respected or not, and what are the results.

However, my commentaries don’t intend to be a thorough ‘analysis’, rather to point out why certain things and projects work while others don’t.
I hope my posts are eye-opening.

In 'My Style - Looks & Outfits' posts I show photos of my own outfits accompanied by explanations for my selections.
I hope you'll find my own photos inspiring.

In my 'Decorating Our Own House' posts I invite you to see our own house.
In these posts I describe all the steps and choices that I make in regard to the decorating process.
If you follow my blog you'll see how the space evolves.

Bio:

I am an Interior Decorator, Style & Interiors Consultant, and ... Blogger.

I was multiple Romanian National Champion in track (100 meters).

I was born and raised in Romania in the beautiful city of Cluj-Napoca, and I moved to vibrant city of San Francisco in the fall of 2005.

I completed degrees in Physical Fitness and European Studies in my native country.

At age 19 while in college I founded and ran for three years a Fitness Studio.
I then founded 'Inspiratie' - a Modeling, Advertising, and Event Planning Agency.
I organized fashion shows of regional interest.
I organized promotional campaigns at regional and national level in Romania.

I managed 'Inspiratie' Agency for five years, prior to moving to the US.

Once in the US I started decorating my husband's and my new place, and from this endeavor a fantastic passion, interior decorating, emerged.
I went ahead and studied Interior Design.

I completed several interior decorating projects, and I started writing about interior design at the beginning of 2012.
Half a year later I started writing about my personal style, and toward the end of 2012 I started writing about the process of decorating our own house.
